Stripped


Claire Parker



The floor was covered
Clothes, shoes
Sheets
Layers of personality meant to impress
My makeup
Your meds

We lived in a room
With the world locked out
On a bed that smelled of
Trust and fear
Pain and love

Your chest was my pillow
And my arms were your sheets
Until the lights and noise faded away
And we saw by the shine in our own
Smiles and eyes

And when I couldn’t
Feel my heart or
Find the words
You made my body
Sing

We forced ourselves
Into ourselves
In hopes of finding something
We didn’t even know we’d lost

By the end the bed was stained
With our efforts
And our rewards
We couldn’t always tell them apart

We slept
Slick with sweat
But huddling close
To keep reality
From getting between our sheets

...I Miss you...

Have u ever found a friend that just touches u deep inside u feel a special bond that u simply cannot hide u give them a piece of ur heart, a view of what u are Sometimes they live close to u, sometimes they live too far. It really doesn't matter, you were friends from the start Soon u realize their memory is a piece of ur heart u feel like they're an angel, placed here just for u u are always amazed at the sweet things that they do. u don't have to see them or talk to them every day To know that God has sent them in His own special way How else could u explain, this friendship and deep love It must be an angel, sent from heaven above. How can u love someone you've never really seen The question u may ask, Is this just a dream? Soon u realize, your feelings are quite sincere ur friendship will continue year after year.
